For You … Only The Best

2025? Waxing ledges was contagious. 2026? Hell Rides are contagious.

Solid bit of New York footage, including a marathon line at the Museum, in Denny Pham’s globe-trotting “Intersections” part that went live on Free last week.

Someone at the Late Nite Stars video department saw that Jiro concoction and decided it’s a good time to finally drop the montage of their crew on the “Stars of Midnight” obstacle. Cooper Winterson opens up the LNS montage on the most Cooper Winterson obstacle ever, and the set-ups only get wackier from there ;)

“I would love some …poke bowl.” Petar Stantchev spends some Euros on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Didn’t know Barcelona just had wild boars running around the hills.

Every Game 0-0

Wheeler Antabanez and Fred Gall’s three-part feature on finding and skating a bank of the roof of an abandoned theater in downtown Newark, New Jersey is incredible. It has everything from urban archeology (the theater closed in 1968 and has largely sat untouched besides by graffiti writers since), to skateboarding to a dash of the paranormal. Absolutely loved every second of it and pined for a time when internet content wasn’t all optimized for shortform social media.

Following Filming, the video essay YouTube channel that brought you the dive into the history of the Element flatbar, has a new one that tracks down 75 skate tricks named after the people who invented them. Yes, he acknowledges a lot of them are obsolete, but an incredibly fun and well-researched piece.

Late Nite Stars Makes A Tompkins Obstacle & A New Video

Daily News May 25th, 2026 · 12:57 pm

What is skateboarding but a long-winded way to worship architectural banalities?

Among this worship, the highest exaltation might be recreating a banality that you found on the other side of the planet in your own backyard. The Late Nite Stars crew was so enamored with this — um, mellow bank with parallel round rails fixed into it — that the handful of clips on it in their Asia tour video for Asics was not enough. Assuming the original spot was made in effort to knob the bank itself, it’s pretty funny that their skatestopping efforts yielded a spot so unique that it is being reproduced in New York. Now everyone can feel the bliss LNS felt under that Tokyo bridge, because they’re dropping it off at Tompkins later today once the rain dries up.

No Spots In Spotsylvania

Adding Ratscavage’s CURB video to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 CURB is a 27-minute video filmed exclusively at the 12th and Monmouth curbs / D.I.Y. in Jersey City. Heard the spot called Moishe’s ages ago, but haven’t really been tapped in with what’s going on with Jersey City skateboarding in recent times. Calling it Moishe’s on the map because “Oh jeez, I worked for Moishe, I worked for Mayflower…”

Back tail shove sorcery on the ledge between the two banks at ConEd plus more in the new Late Nite Stars throwaway edit — hopefully a hint of a new full-length on the way.

The community board approved the construction of the Brooklyn Skate Garden in Mount Prospect Park, albeit the scaled-down version that is half the size of the original plan.

We have said it before, but Alan Bell seems to keep a steady pace of finding new ways to skate many of New York’s proving-ground spots, so just under a year after Late Nite Stars’ ◯ video, we figured it’d be good to get him on the line.
